He is a nice guy, but I would like to see Sergio or Quillin take his belt

I wonder how much of it was down to Barker's hip. Looked to me like he got hit with the equilibrium shot and never recovered.

It looked like he recovered at the end. Fighters have come back from much worse. Just had to be stopped because no point on continuing with a bum leg.

Everyone on this boxing site should go to sturms twitter account and tweet GGG.

You're supposed to rematch him anyway.

LOL, I guess by the time Barker is ready to fight again, Felix will have lost the belt against a guy who is actually healthy enough to fight...

That's exactly what I and quite a few others were saying. Just seemed too convenient that when he was being beat up and knocked down he suddenly had this problem yet when he got his legs back it went away and sims had to throw he towel in as he was none the wiser. They went on to say it happened in the 1st rd which is bollocks because he would've told Sims the corner which sky would've picked up.

Another Team Froch boy exposed at world level and getting spanked.
